2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Model Review - Decatur, IL

What's New for the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Hardly anything has changed for 2026. The main update is the shift from Realtree Special Edition to the Realtree Appearance Package. Additionally, you'll spot Realtree-themed touches across multiple trims, and new exterior paints-pearl and slate gray-join the lineup.

What Trims and Features Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

The Silverado comes in eight trims, from the base Work Truck up to the premium High Country. The LT remains the ideal mix of cost and equipment. The Custom fits the bill if you want more than the basics without spending a fortune. The RST adds sporty styling, and the Custom Trail Boss brings off-road gear at a fair price. The LT Trail Boss enhances off-road ability further, and the LTZ delivers a comfortable, well-appointed cabin.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

Power depends on engine choice. The standard 3.0-liter diesel puts out 277 hp, while the upgraded 6.2-liter V-8 cranks out 420 hp. If you plan to tackle rugged terrain regularly, the V-8's extra horsepower will serve you well.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Silverado Have?

Every Silverado is equipped with essentials like emergency braking and cross-traffic monitors. High Country models add Super Cruise for hands-free driving, including while towing. Useful trailer cameras and towing aids round out the safety suite.
